No problem, but stress that it is still early days and they have not been able to get in yet to do a full assessment.
Re the Bolus Herbarium, latest we are hearing is that while the Herbarium is...

I was in contact with UCT library staff through last night as my wife and I donated our entire video archive of hundreds of tapes of apartheid-era and democratic transition news and documentary...

Whatever you are trying to infer is wrong - this was very similar to the Knysna fire of a few years back, the fire jumping huge distances, palm trees igniting in Main Road, hundreds of metres away...

Latest is that besides Mostert's Mill, Jagger Library (priceless collections of Africana), Fuller Hall residence, and Welgelegen farm house (one of the original six or seven farms allocated by Van...

Sedgefield. You can let the place to students from Saasveld over term, and as a holiday let in season. One of my favourite places on the Garden Route.

I would contact the Franschhoek Motor Museum (owned by the Rupert family, started by Anton's son, Anthonij Rupert who was killed when he crashed his BMW). They collect vintage to very modern cars and...

The closest you're likely to get to the Coleman petrol stove is the MSR whisperlite single burner stove. But I'm mystified as to why you would prefer a petrol stove over say, a Cadac or Alva...

Not a good idea - the stresses from the chassis and body twisting will inevitably result in the windscreen shattering, seen it happen several times with over-modified overlanders in the bush.

Hi Nicko,
I haven't read all the responses, so this may be superfluous. We have done multiple overland trips, including a two-year, 65,000km trip from Cape Town to Ethiopia and back again. We only...

We never do the N1 travelling to and from Joburg - always take the Karoo/Free State route. Some potholed sections, but far less traffic and some terrific scenery.

Hi, yes please send me the exporter's details - sounds like a plan! My email is tonyweaver (at) iafrica (dot) com
Cheers

We use Mozitec (Malanil generic as above by Stan) for extended periods and have never had any side-effects. Back in the early 1990s, my wife and I were in malarial areas for over two years, and used...

Thanks everyone, FYI, I have had six or seven PMs from members interested in buying it and if I decide to sell, I will contact those members, and advertise it here in the classifieds. Tough decision!

Naah, Gurue is many miles away from any of the Cabo Delgado action. But the terrain is very rugged, and relatively unexplored other than by the locals. It's also been on my hit list for a while,...

Hi Rod, yes, it makes a huge difference - if you are short of poles, Outdoor Warehouse sell them in different lengths.
This is what it looks like with one side awning pegged down, and one extended...

We had sidewalls made up for our awning (out of Ripstop, with an extra half metre of light PVC skirt at the bottom that can be pegged down and outwards) and even though we only use them very...

Depends on your definition of "thick". Let's put it this way - there is lots of very thin sand that when it gets loose and hot and messed up, turns thick, a bit like eggs that have been beaten. So...

Hi Paul, mine had a bit of charge when I got it, but was showing low charge - I charged it for about three hours and it was on full charge.
Just to add that I am very chuffed with the constant red...

Thanks, it has been garaged since I bought it (I built a garage with an extra high entrance to accommodate the RTT). And no, I don't need to sell it, but sometimes practicality has to rule over...

Yup, that's the one. Extraordinary engine. When we are on game drives, I pop it into low range first and let the Landy drive itself - it ambles slowly along at walking pace, the engine is almost...

Hi Stan,
Not wanting to steal your thread, but here's the piece I wrote in 2002 after my first return visit to Kruger after a nearly 40-year hiatus - it does seem as though almost nothing has...

Thanks Graham - I really have no idea what it is worth, looking for pointers.

Nope, it's like selling a member of the family, or the family dog! And our kids have literally grown up in the Landy, bush camping all over southern Africa. But one has to be realistic... our other...

Petri, I have no idea - I would imagine it is probably worth anything between R50k and R80k but I'm trying to establish what the market is. I really have no clue.
@Stephen Plumb, yes, the idea of...

I've redone it with the pics pasted in the text - wanna swap for one of your vehicles? ;D

Hi Petri, there is a pic attached. Here's another one:608566

To add: I will be chucking in an ammo box of spares - new water pump, points, condensor, used water hoses, fan and drive belts, emergency inline fuel pump, coil etc. All the stuff one needs in case...

608567Looking for some price advice: We are thinking of selling our collector's item very trusty 1991 Land Rover 110 3.5l V8 HiLine station wagon (yes, it is officially a classic).
This is the...

Many thanks Stan, great trip report as always. You've whetted my appetite for a return trip to Kruger, was last there nearly 20 years ago, although it used to be one of our regular pilgrimages when...

Great product and great service - mine arrived this morning via courier, with tracking emails etc sent promptly through the delivery process. Very impressed with your service, thank you. The lamp...

As a matter of interest, and not wanting you to divulge any trade secrets, which route works better for you - selling through Takealot or selling direct off your website, and does selling through...

Definitely! Looks almost identical to the UST (Ultimate Survival Technologies) 30-day lamp that runs on 3 D-cell batteries and which is one of the best camping lights I have... I'll place an order...

Looks like a great product - can it also run off standard batteries (like the newer Petzl headlamps) if the rechargeables run down? If so, I want one!

Yes, avoid Kogelbaai, although there are some gullies on the Rooi Els side of the beach that are relatively safe. Best "nursery" diving is on the Hangklip peninsula near the lighthouse - drive...
